The main route for an ascent of Ben Lomond leaves from Rowardennan on the eastern side of Loch Lomond. You can either retrace your steps, or follow an alternative descent route via the ridge of Ptarmigan. We also have a longer and more remote route of ascent from Loch Chon, to the east in the beautiful Trossachs region.

Ben Lomond is surrounded by other great Munros, including Ben More, Stob Binnein, An Caisteal and Ben Vorlich. Across Loch Lomond are the Arrochar Alps, while great non-Munros in this area include Ben Ledi, Ben Venue and Ben A'an.

The Trossachs and Queen Elizabeth Forest Park are a beautiful area of hills, forests, lochs and moorland lying to the east of Loch Lomond. The villages of Aberfoyle and Callander provide a great base for exploring this unspoilt area of natural beauty.
